Marine environment is submitted to contamination1 that comes in many different forms, such as toxic chemicals (e.g., organic compounds, DDT, PCB, metals, pharmaceuticals, gas), solid waste (e.g., plastics), increased nutrient (e.g., nitrates and phosphates) and sediment inputs due to human activities (e.g., industry, agriculture, deforestation, sewage discharge, aquaculture), radioactivity, oil spills, and discarded fishing nets. Marine contamination changes the physical, chemical, and biological characteristics of the oceans and coastal zones, and potentially threatens marine organism, ecosystems, and biodiversity and affects thus the quality and productivity of marine ecosystems.

Answer:

Manufacturing plants in some areas of the world release toxic waste into the ocean, including mercury. While it's intentionally being released into the sea, sewage also contributes to ocean pollution, as well as plastic products
